  "The Emperor" Su Jing rubbed her eyes and called out uncertainly

  Zong Zhengjin lifted her up a bit "Hmm woke you up"

  Su Jing leaned against his chest and said, "Nothing happened, did it?"

  Zong Zhengjin saw her drowsy and sleepy appearance, looking adorable and lovable to the extreme. He couldn't help but kiss her forehead and pat her back, saying "Sleep well, nothing's wrong".

  "Oh"

  Su Shunan stood outside for a while and saw that there was no more movement coming from inside, so she knew that the Emperor was not going to come in person. Even when she was pregnant, the Emperor didn't show much concern, let alone now when she had just given birth in the middle of the night.

  However, he has already conveyed to the Emperor that it's not convenient for him to go, so now he can only look for the Empress. After all, he can't just ignore both of them.

  "Her Majesty the Empress has arrived." The eunuch's sharp voice rang out outside the door.

  "The concubines and maidservants pay their respects to Her Majesty the Empress"

  "The Empress Dowager hastily arrived, not wanting to waste time on these empty formalities. 'How is the situation? Why did she give birth prematurely when everything was going well?'"

  The noble imperial concubine's status is the highest, and she had already understood the situation. She replied, "The imperial physician is inside diagnosing, but it seems that it might be a difficult delivery."

  The queen was startled. Women giving birth are already walking through the gates of hell, and if they encounter a difficult delivery, there will be some harm. She thought for a moment and asked, "Is everything ready that the midwife needs?"

  "Everything is ready now, just waiting for the right time to start production."

  The queen covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed twice, slightly panting. Hui Zhu beside her hurriedly helped her catch her breath. The queen waved her hand to signal her to withdraw.

  "Is there a pass from the Emperor?" Shu Fei spoke up, "Du sister giving birth is also a big deal."

  Although the words were spoken in a subtle manner, everyone present understood the underlying meaning. Almost all the concubines in the palace had arrived at this place, not because they were worried about Du Wanru giving birth to a child, but because they might catch a glimpse of the Emperor. If the Emperor did not come, would their elaborate attire not be wasted?

  It was Empress Shu's words that struck a chord in everyone's hearts, and they all either spoke out or nodded in agreement.

  "Could it be that someone is intentionally keeping this from His Majesty?" Ruan Xiaoyi immediately chimed in.

  She and Du Wanru were pregnant at the same time, now Du Wanru is about to give birth, but her child has long been gone, not even she felt the existence of the child, only that she had already forgotten how her child was lost.

  "Ruan sister must be thinking of her own child, it's no wonder that Ruan sister is so sour now." Ning Deyi said with a sneer.

  Ruan Yu's words were hinting at someone, and everyone present knew who it was. Although he was trying to curry favor with the empress, his words made him appear extremely foolish, so everyone present was extremely disdainful of him.

  "That's enough!" The Empress interrupted her, "Pass down the imperial edict: Ruan Xiaoyi has presumptuously spoken ill of the Emperor and slandered the consorts. She is hereby demoted to the rank of Mei Ren and will be confined in the Hao Yue Pavilion for a month."

  One sentence once again sent someone back to dust and returned to his original form

  "Your Majesty, you can't forgive her crime!" Ruan Yu Ning panicked and quickly knelt down on the ground.

  "Stop carrying on and making a scene!" The queen waved her hand impatiently.

  Everyone saw Ruan Xiaoyi, who was struggling to get free, being taken away by two eunuchs. The queen's heart still had lingering fears. Being a concubine was like this - not entering the imperial family's ancestral temple was a punishment that could be meted out at any time, and it didn't even need to be reported to the emperor. It was enough to make someone disappear from then on.

  And as for those who have newly entered the palace, they are basically all below the rank of imperial concubine. Looking at Ruan Yu, Ning can't help but think that her own future is uncertain and she might become like Ruan Yu someday.

  The queen glanced at everyone "As a palace concubine, one should know what to do and what not to do, and have a sense of propriety. Otherwise, it's better to think more about the consequences for oneself."

  Everyone stood up and paid their respects, including Empress Shu.

  The empress is still the empress as long as she is on the phoenix throne. Even without imperial favor, even without power, her words are still revered as wise decrees. Otherwise, it would be disrespect and unbecoming of an empress, punishable by a mere word.

  "The slave and servant pay respects to Her Majesty the Empress and have seen all the masters." Liu Moumou walked in and paid her respects.

  The queen's eyes flashed with a hint of sarcasm as she hooked up the corner of her mouth and said, "Hurry up and invite him in."

  "Thank you, Your Majesty," Liu Moumou stood up and said, "The Empress Dowager has heard that Madam Du had a premature birth and is very worried. She remembers that she used to copy Buddhist scriptures for the Empress Dowager with a kind heart, so she specially sent a servant to ask about her well-being."

  "The Empress Dowager thought it through thoroughly. If Du Mei knew that Mu Mu had come, she would definitely feel at ease a bit more. If you want to see her, just go in." The Empress picked up the teacup and sniffed it, furrowing her brow as there was no usual fragrance, so she simply held the cup in her hand without taking a sip.

  "It's just that Mother has been a vegetarian and Buddhist for many years, but now she's in the delivery room with blood on her, wouldn't Buddha blame her for being unfaithful?"

  The queen said slowly that it didn't matter to her whether Liu entered the delivery room or not, she hadn't made any moves and wasn't afraid of being investigated, but she just didn't want to let things go so easily.

  "The princess said that the slave also thinks it's reasonable, so the slave will wait here." Liu Moumou did not entangle as much as the empress had expected, but instead lightly covered up.

  The queen slightly raised an eyebrow and faintly responded without continuing the conversation.

  For a moment, all that could be heard in the silent room was the sound of people's breathing and the heart-wrenching cries coming from the delivery room.

  In the midst of anxiety and unease in everyone's heart, time slowly flowed until dawn, inevitably feeling tired and worn out, but could only hold on to this place.

  "It's born! It's born!" The midwife rushed out and exclaimed repeatedly.

  The queen rubbed her brow and glanced at the midwife's hands behind her "How is it?"

  "The Empress Dowager has given birth to a male heir for Master Du, but he's a bit weak and thin."

  Everyone was shocked when they heard this. They had always thought that Du Wanru's child would be born with some kind of defect, so they had been somewhat neglectful in their care for her during her pregnancy, and hadn't expected things to turn out like this.

  The queen's heart was also shocked "Is it? Bring it over and let me take a look"

  Wrapped in a pale yellow blanket, a small and weak infant lay with wet and blue veins all over his face, his eyes closed, and his arms slightly waving, looking like a normal child.

  "Has the imperial physician examined him?" asked Consort Shu.

  "I have already examined the prince, and although his body is somewhat weak, it can be restored with good care. However, in the future, his physical condition will be slightly weaker than that of ordinary people."

  "Didn't you say before that this child would be a bit abnormal?" Shu Fei asked with a glance, somewhat displeased.

  The imperial physician hesitated slightly and said, "Your Majesty, the prince is still young and it's hard to tell anything. I can only examine his four limbs for now, perhaps when he grows up a bit..."

  This ambiguous remark could not satisfy the consorts in attendance, but before they had a chance to think more about it, another imperial physician came out and said something that slightly reassured them.

  "I reported to Her Majesty that when Empress Du gave birth, she encountered a difficult labor. I have done my best to ensure the safety of both mother and child. However, judging from the current situation, it is feared that Empress Du may find it difficult to become pregnant again in the future."

  The queen did not have much reaction to such news. Her attention was on the child, and she just nodded "Take good care of her body for now. As for this child, I will discuss his whereabouts with the emperor after he finishes his morning court."

  According to the rules, Du Liangyuan is not qualified to raise this child, so when she heard the words, some of the high-ranking concubines who had been out of favor for a long time were all eager to move.

  "Alright, let's disperse." The queen stood up. "Mumu can also return to the palace and report back to the empress dowager so as not to worry her unnecessarily."

  Everyone responded in unison: "Pay respects and see off Her Majesty the Empress"

  Guan Yu Temple

  "Master Du's wife gave birth last night," said Ting Yao as soon as she got up.

  Su Jing suddenly became clear-headed "last night"

  "Born of another little prince"

  Su Jing raised an eyebrow, thinking that last night she woke up in the middle of the night and it was Su Shun who had been guarding Du Wanru all night as she was about to give birth. Others had been keeping watch all night, but she had slept soundly until dawn.

  "It's also said that Ruan Xiaoyi was demoted to Mei Ren by the Empress Dowager for speaking ill of the Emperor and disrespecting her master, the imperial edict has already been issued this morning"

  Su Jing nodded. She had long known that Ruan Youning would eventually meet his demise, but she was concerned about something else. "Is the child healthy?"

  "Taiyi diagnosed that the young prince is just physically weak, and after taking medicine and nursing care, he will be fine. He's just thinner than others, but at his age, it's hard to tell for now."

  Su Jingxiao laughed and said that at first, Du Wanting was poisoned by the doctor's diagnosis that the fetus would not be healthy, but because of this sentence, she gave birth safely. But now, if the fetus is really healthy, I'm afraid others will soon vomit to death.

  "Does Du Wanru know why she had a premature birth?" Now that it's only eight months and some, it's considered to be quite early.

  "After Du Liangyu's difficult childbirth, it's likely that she will have difficulty getting pregnant again." Yu heard the words and said, "As for why the empress had a premature birth, the imperial physician didn't investigate thoroughly and only said it was due to the previous poisoning incident."

  Su Jing hooked the corner of her mouth, Du Wanru also counted as fortunate in misfortune. According to her character and behavior, it's likely that she will not have good fortune in the future. As for whether she can become pregnant now, it doesn't matter much to her.

  This child is just afraid she can't raise herself

  "Master, this child, you can imagine." Xiang's heart could vaguely guess her answer, but she couldn't help asking anyway. If it were up to the Emperor's current favor towards Master, wanting this child wasn't entirely impossible.

  Su Jing shook her head "Ben Pei will absolutely not raise someone else's child"
